Onboarding

Slightly more than 48 percent of respondents noted the existence of a rotational program at their organizations, the highest mark since the question was first asked in 2011. From 2011 to 2013, this figure ranged from 41 to 44 percent.

Leadership Development Programs provide formal and comprehensive job training and professional development to the new employees while providing opportunities for employers to groom and foster the future leaders of their organizations.

The onboarding process for new graduate hires may have an influence on the likelihood of these employees staying with the organization for five years, according to results of NACE’s 2013 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey.

Organizations set up rotational training programs for a variety of reasons and with varying goals, including to encourage new college grad hires with new ideas, to show new employees what working in the field is really like, and to groom new employees for leadership roles.
